Broadbill (The Gladiator of the
sea!) ...
A Broadbill fishing trip would entail a
night fishing trip. You would board the
boat at around 5pm in the evening before
cruising out into the deep blue waters
of the Indian Ocean north of Nungwi only
returning early the following morning.
It is not unusual to have many strikes
in a night although your fishing skills
will determine how many of these
powerful fish you can raise.
Fantastic fishing locally too ...
Close to shore along the west, north
and east coast of Zanzibar, regular
catches include rainbow runners, bonito,
kingfish, barracuda, wahoo and dorado.
The Seasons
There are two monsoon seasons that
govern the weather here in Zanzibar. The
“Kaskazi” which is the northeast monsoon
and the “Kusi” which is the southeast
monsoon. These two seasons are separated
by very calm periods.
The Kusi starts anytime from around
mid/end of march and continues to blow
through to late October. The kaskazi
starts to blow any time from
mid-November until mid-December and
continues in to early March.
Typically the Kaskazi reaches its strongest during January with
rough seas and strong winds. Usually
from mid-February onwards the winds are
becoming lighter and the seas calmer. |
